To assist parents in choosing a backpack for your child, RCS has listed below
some recommended choices of backpacks. These backpacks have the
appropriate padding for the 11” MacBook Air that students will be receiving. We are not requiring parents to purchase these backpacks.

Students will
still have the option of bringing in a backpack to be approved by the Help Desk at RS Middle or using a backpack issued by Rutherford County Schools.

Backpacks that will not be approved are the drawstring ones, or ones with no padding. With the new laptop cases, it gives us the option to approve 95% of backpacks.
